Acts 27:7-12

7When we had sailed slowly for a good many days, and with difficulty had arrived off Cnidus, 1since the wind did not permit us to go farther, we sailed under the shelter of 2Crete, off Salmone; 8and with difficulty 3sailing past it we came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city of Lasea.

9When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even 4the 5fast was already over, Paul began to admonish them, 10and said to them, “Men, I perceive that the voyage will certainly be with 6damage and great loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.” 11But the centurion was more persuaded by the 7pilot and the 8captain of the ship than by what was being said by Paul. 12Because the harbor was not suitable for wintering, the majority reached a decision to put out to sea from there, if somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of 9Crete, facing southwest and northwest, and spend the winter there.
